The new markets will be Charlotte, N.C.; Indianapolis; Kansas City; Las Vegas; Oklahoma City and San Juan, Puerto Rico. In addition, AT&T said it also would introduce on Nov. 20 its second LTE-connected tablet, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9, giving it an LTE portfolio of two tablets and two smartphones. The Android Honeycomb Tab has a 1.5 GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon dual-core processor and an 8.9-inch widescreen display, making it just as powerful but smaller than HTC’s Jetstream tablet. While the Tab may have less real estate, it also has a much lower price tag. It’s $220 cheaper than the Jetstream’s $699 price-tag at launch — and that’s including a two-year contract.

AT&T doesn’t appear to be done with LTE for the year. While it has hit its goal of 15 markets, it hasn’t yet reached its total coverage target of 70 million pops. AT&T may be planning to make those numbers by expanding the LTE footprints within its current markets, or it may choose to launch the network in entirely new cities. Either way it has plenty of catching up to do. Verizon announced at its Oct. 24 third-quarter earnings call that it has hit 186 million pops LTE coverage in 155 markets. But since then, it has kept the rollouts coming with plans to turn on LTE services in 13 cities in November alone and possibly more in December.
